NARS x Charlotte Gainsbourg Summer 2017 Collection

For Summer 2017, NARS created a new collection in collaboration with the actress and musician Charlotte Gainsbourg! Available May 2017 at all NARS retailers, this collection features two Velvet Duo Eyeshadows, three Kohliners, two Velvet Matte Lip Pencils, three Multiple Tints, three Lip Tints, four Hydrating Glow Tints and a set of five full-size brushes.

The formula is top notch! The navy blue is nicely pigmented and applies well on the lids without looking patchy, while the frosty champagne has a buttery smooth consistency. I haven't experienced any fall outs, even with the blue shade.

I like to wear the champagne shade all over the lid, with the matte navy blue on the lower lash line. Or the blue shade all over the lid and on the bottom lash line, with a pop of frosty champagne on the inner corner!

The consistency is smooth like a lip balm, it feels great on the lips without being too sticky. The color is sheer, but I wouldn't expect an intense color payoff for a lip tint anyway. The finish is less glossy after an hour and the product leaves a subtle pink stain on the lips (like a lip stain).

This lip tint is supposed to give a hint of color while being extremely comfortable to wear. If that's what you are looking for in a lip product, you will love it!

For a just-bitten lip look, I like to apply the product on the center of my lips and blend it with my fingers!
